3) MultiplyUs 11 Recording
MultiplyUs 11 took place on March 22. On this MultiplyUs, we discussed the Asbury Revival, How to Discern a Movement From God, and How to Reach Gen Z. There’s a lot of talk about movements these days, but how do we know when we are living in the middle of one? It was a lot of information to tackle in such a short amount of time, but we are excited about how God continues to move. If you were not able to make it, you could catch the recording located at www.MultiplyUs.com.

7) No Doubt About It
We’ve recently come across the book, No Doubt About It, The Case for Christianity, by Winfried Corduan. The book summary states, “Our doubts and questions make us feel so faithless. But according to Dr. Winfried Corduan, the very thoughts that call our faith into question are actually signs of life and growth. ‘We should never fear investigating the truth,’ he writes. ‘If we have to run from the truth, maybe it’s because we have something to hide.’ In this rigorous look at the essence of Christianity, Corduan argues from a compatability between faith and reason.” What books or podcasts help you when answering questions about your faith? Please comment! The book can be found at https://arcapologetics.org/product/no-doubt-about-it-the-case-for-christianity/.
8) What are “Very Successful” Church Planters Doing Differently?
In the Fall of 2022, GACX conducted a survey with 282 global church planters to learn more about their habits, beliefs, and plans for the future of church planting. The 50-question survey explored the state of church planting by zeroing in on three primary areas: online training, technology use, and collaboration. In addition to English-language respondents, GACX received responses from French, Spanish, Korean, Arabic, and Portuguese speakers.
